We firmly believe these words, delivered by President Dwight D. Eisenhower over fifty years ago, continue to ring true today:

EVERY GUN THAT IS MADE, EVERY WAR SHIP LAUNCHED, EVERY ROCKET FIRED, SIGNIFIES, IN THE FINAL SENSE, A THEFT FROM THOSE WHO HUNGER AND ARE NOT FED, THOSE WHO ARE COLD AND ARE NOT CLOTHED. THE WORLD IN ARMS IS NOT SPENDING MONEY ALONE. IT IS SPENDING THE SWEAT OF ITS LABORERS, THE GENIUS OF ITS SCIENTISTS, THE HOPES OF ITS CHILDREN.

Peace is possible. We imagine it. We are working for it.
We demand it. We invite you to join us.
